Educational Q&A
The verse suggests that external honor and collective approval can intensify inner resolve; ethically, it invites reflection on whether praise is reinforcing righteous duty or merely inflaming pride and commitment to a harmful course.
After being respectfully honored by those around him, Duryodhana becomes exhilarated (romaharṣa) and renews a firm, courageous determination to proceed to battle, as reported by Sañjaya.
